The Common Council on July 7, 2026 adopted Resolution 2026-7 recognizing William J. Carpenter on his retirement after serving the City for 49 years as Assistant Water Superintendent. City Attorney Anne Razo read the resolution in full; Council Member Jenny Bowers-Shultz moved to adopt the resolution and Abby Wilder seconded the motion, which was adopted.
Mayor Rickord thanked Carpenter for his long service and Carpenter reflected on his career, saying he "began to work at the age of 17" and recounted seeing many projects and changes during his tenure.
